In this delightful book, the reader learns about the pain of blisters, sore knees, the beauty of sunsets, cold snow, hot and humid days, blueberry pancakes, Ramen noodles, pizza, the support of friends, the pain of separation from those we love, the motivation and support that come from knowing someone you love will be waiting for you up the trail.
